Interplay between Alfvén and magnetosonic waves in compressible magnetohydrodynamics turbulence
Nahuel Andrés,P. Clark di Leoni,P. Clark di Leoni,P. Clark di Leoni,P. D. Mininni,P. D. Mininni,P. Dmitruk,P. Dmitruk,Fouad Sahraoui,William H. Matthaeus +9 more
TL;DR: Using spatio-temporal spectra, this paper showed direct evidence of magnetosonic and Alfven waves in three-dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at small Mach numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of very long time fluctuations and 1/f noise in ideal flows.

TL;DR: This paper shows the connection between three previously observed but seemingly unrelated phenomena in hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic turbulent flows, involving the emergence of fluctuations occurring on very long time scales: the low-frequency 1/f noise in the power frequency spectrum, the delayed ergodicity of complex valued amplitude fluctuations in wave number space, and the spontaneous flippings or reversals of large-scale fields.
The interaction of turbulence with shock waves: a basic model
TL;DR: In this article, an energy-containing model which couples the turbulent energy density and correlation length of the flow with the mean flow is developed, which is shown to increase the mean shock speed and decrease the efficiency of turbulence amplification at the shock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heating of the solar wind by pickup ion driven Alfvén ion cyclotron instability
TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid particle simulation was used to demonstrate that the AIC driven by the pickup ions couples to the solar wind, leading to an anisotropic solar wind distribution, which may contribute to enhanced solar wind temperatures at large heliocentric distances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eulerian decorrelation of fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for estimating the two-time correlation function and the associated Eulerian decorrelation timescale in turbulence is devised for interplanetary magnetic field measurements from the Advanced Composition Explorer and Wind spacecraft.
